Dragon costs €999.
Dit costs €29.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking was once the gold standard in voice dictation. But it costs €999 for a perpetual licence, or €509 per year on subscription, runs on aging technology, and receives minimal updates. Dit uses OpenAI's Whisper Turbo — a far more advanced speech recognition model — for a fraction of the price.
